When reminiscing and reading this blog and being disappointed in the very large time gaps, please be kind. Try to remember all the times spent with your toddlers. Maybe not in detail but that you spent time to teach and disciple them amongst the chaos.
Sincerely,
Very Busy Present Self
I mentioned in my first ever blog that I was keeping a blog for my future senile self to remember how I got to where I will be.
Ok. Here goes the CATCH UP!
Anna: Age 3
Weight: 29 lbs [small fry]
Favorite Activity: being mommy to her baby dolls and playdoh
Anna has blossomed so. She is sweetheart with "tude" if there ever was one. Completely potty trained [without a problem] and about to start some K-3 work at home, she is very smart. She LOVES to sing...sing...and dance. She is quite the song writer as well. :)
Love Language: Quality Time
Ansley: Age 1yr 8 months
Weight: 25 lbs [note the difference with sister]
Favorite Activity: cooking at her kitchen and playing with her baby dolls
Ansley is growing up wayyyy to fast for my liking. She also loves to sing. Since last I wrote, She is now talking and running and jumping right along side her best friend, Anna. Ansley is a daddy's girl for sure!
Love Language: Physical Touch
Gavin: Age 11
Weight: 80 lbs
Favorite Activity: picking on the girls and playing video games with Adam
Meet the newest member of our family. :)
Gavin is our nephew. He is now living with us and we LOVE it. He is a big help with the girls and the dishes. Adam and I couldn't be happier to have him with us. He too likes to sing and dance but it is much more comical than the girls. He is also....wait for it....an Alabama fan, more like a walking billboard for The Roll Tide. Oh my goodness was this hard for my hubby to swallow. We do love him all the same, however, Adam says he will be an Auburn fan by the end of this football season. ;) We will see.
Ok. That kinda covers the gap. I know I can't fill myself in on all the adorable details of the inbetween but this will do.
Adam and I are about to start going through a book titled "Disciplines of a Godly Family" and we are very excited about this. God has really convicted us of family based ministry and the importance of the home being a main ground of discipleship. The church should not be the only place that your children are taught the Bible and Christian values. If that is the only place they are hearing it then we are not fulfilling the job God gave us as parents. Especailly now that Gavin is with us we feel we need to set a discipleship plan in place. With the girls being so young I just figured bible stories before bed will do for now. NOPE that is not what God called us to do as parents. We really looking forward to the changes God has for our household.
God has blessed us with a wonderful family and we are thankful. This will be Adam's last semester at BCF and he will graduate in May with his degree in Ministry Studies. I am very proud of him. He has worked very hard and made sure that family was a priority through this time in life and I am very grateful for that.
A shout out to our Bascom fam! We have been at FBC Bascom for almost 2 years and love it. They are the sweetest of people and love our family so much. Love you guys! : )
